Expert Answer

Since you can repack for the beach when you land, use your carry-on for items you'll need on the plane. This may include chapstick, a neck pillow, headphones, earplugs, and plenty of reading material for the plane.

Question

If I travel with a family of five and am going on a plane, can I bring a cooler?

Community Answer

Yes, but unless it meets carry-on size requirements, it will have to be checked as luggage.

Question

I'm going on a road trip, is there a magazine for activities to play in the car or something like that?

Community Answer

Try Mad Libs, they are fun fill-in-the-blanks you can do with a friend. If you like numbers, try Sudoku, 1-9 in each square, line, row. The best thing is to bring a book or two depending on the size and how fast you read and the hours you are spending in the car. You could also bring a sketchbook and some colors and draw.

Question

What if I'm sick and in pain but still want to go to the beach?

Community Answer

Take some medication, lots of water and find a sunbed with an umbrella. However, the heat could make you feel a whole lot worse, so if you are in too much pain to move, stay at the hotel or at home and rest.

Question

What other snacks could I pack for a long beach car trip?

Community Answer

Pack food you like, that doesn't need microwaving or cooking. Bake some brownies, cookies or cupcakes to take in a container. You might also want to take candies, energy bars, fruits and veggie sticks.
